Chairs Introduce Resolutions to Correct CCP’s Efforts to Rewrite WWII History

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Chairs of the Congressional-Executive Commission on China (CECC)—U.S. Senator Dan Sullivan (R-Alaska) and Representative Chris Smith (R-N.J.)—announced a joint, bicameral effort to challenge the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) attempts to rewrite World War II history and to honor the shared sacrifices of the United States and Nationalist China (formally known as the Republic of China, whose government is now based in Taiwan) during World War II.  

The Chairs introduced the twin resolutions to highlight the fact that freedom in Taiwan, democracy in Japan, and stability across the Indo-Pacific are the result of courage, sacrifice, and an accurate accounting of history—not the CCP’s revisionist narrative.  This false narrative of the CCP’s role in the Allied victory in Asia was repeated in November 2025, when General Secretary Xi Jinping told President Trump in a phone call that the CCP was “a big part of the victory in WWII” and “fought shoulder to shoulder” with the United States “against fascism and militarism”—a demonstrably exaggerated claim which the twin resolutions rebut. 

The resolutions:

• Commemorate the immense human and material sacrifices made by the Republic of China and the United States during World War II;
• Condemn the CCP’s “stolen valor” historical revisionism regarding Allied victory in Asia;
• Recognize postwar Japan’s transformation into a democratic ally and its contributions to peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific; and
• Affirm enduring U.S. support for Taiwan’s freedom, security, and self-defense against coercion and aggression from the CCP.
